A big by any other name? Why the Brooklyn Nets need to be selective in adding size: Adam Armbrecht hops on the podcast to discuss the Nets need for more size. He highlights that no one player is going to be an "Embiid stopper" and there should be a bigger importance on team and role fit. Creating rotation redundancies means consistency around Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Consistency also affords specialized players like perimeter shooter Joe Harris or swiss army defensive weapon Nicolas Claxton to lock into what they do best. Learn more about your ad choices.

Where it All Stands for the Lakers, Nets, Westbrook, Kyrie, Durant, LeBron... Hell, Everyone!!!: A day barely passes without some news leaking about the Los Angeles Lakers, the Brooklyn Nets, and some trade that will affect Russell Westbrook, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Anthony Davis... even folks like Joe Harris, Seth Curry, and Talen Horton-Tucker, or teams like the San Antonio Spurs, Phoenix Suns, Indiana Pacers or Charlotte Hornets. So much of the NBA landscape is essentially stuck in neutral as the Nets sort out their conflict with the disgruntled Durant, which could create a butterfly effect of massive proportions. So what's happening these days in Brooklyn? To break it all down, Andy Kamenetzky (with Brian Kamenetzky out on vacation) spoke with Adam Armbrecht from Locked On Nets. The topics included the trade offers thus far declined for Durant, what makes him difficult to move, why he even wants out in the first place, and where things stand between the Nets and I by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers
